You can get a larger-than-life look at marine life in Galapagos, opening today at the IMAX theater at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History. This 40-minute film follows a marine biologist as she explores the marine life around the Galapagos Islands.

But you might not want to rush out to see this film right away. I say that because on Sept. 24, the museum will open a new exhibit on Charles Darwin, and since the Galapagos Islands played such an important role in his research, the exhibit and the film should make a nice complement to each other.

Galapagos and Darwin both will run through Jan. 1, 2012.
